GOVERNMENT inspectors have praised the standard of pupil behaviour at a Hindley primary school.

A recent OFSTED inspection at Hindley Junior and Infant School revealed a good rate of pupil progress which result in levels of attainment in speaking, listening and reading, in line with national expectations.

The headteacher and teaching staff are praised and the report describes them as "hard working and committed."

The vast majority of lessons are satisfactory or better and support staff are well used and make a valuable contribution to the teaching of the curriculum.

Chair of Governors, Cllr Betty Edwardson, said: "I am delighted that the school received such a positive report. It reflects the hard work and commitment of all those connected with the school."
